back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 463
Yelu Hongji hurriedly rode his horse to the front of Kaihuang Hall.After getting off the horse, he dropped the rein and shouted loudly at the servant: "Go, call the King of Chu!"

How dare the servant question Yelu Hongji's will?Just as he was about to leave, Yelu Hongji shouted again: "Wait a minute, come back first!" The servant ran back quickly, bowing his head respectfully in front of Yelu Hongji.

Yelu Hongji said: "Forget it, go to Weidian and call Xiao Dingxu..."

The servant took the order and left, Yelu Hongji entered the Kaihuang Hall with a lot of worries.

The Kaihuang Hall is called the Hall, but it is actually composed of many palaces.Liao's political, military, economic and other major state affairs decisions will be made here.The palace that Yelu Hongji entered was not the main hall of Kaihuang Hall, but a side hall.The main hall was the place where the early court was held, while the side hall was where Yelu Hongji dealt with political affairs and received officials.In fact, with Yelu Hongji's temperament, why would he sit here for a long time?Every time I can't see a few memorials, I feel sleepy and order to go to Mingwang Tower.

In this way, Yelu Yixin, the co-prefect of Beiyuan whom he favored, the privy envoy Yelu Yixin has more power than the prime minister, and he can handle state affairs for Yelu Hongji.As time went by, Yelu Yixin naturally developed a self-interested heart, and began to use the convenience of his position to seek personal gain.He never formed a party, so he won the trust of Yelu Hongji. Yelu Hongji is a suspicious person, but once he believes someone, he will believe it.

As soon as he entered the side hall of Kaihuang Palace, Yelu Hongji saw Yelu Yixin bowing his head at the table, carefully reviewing the memorial, Yelu Hongji was very pleased.Yelu Yixin felt that the light was blocked, looked up and saw that it was Yelu Hongji, he quickly stood up and knelt down and said, "I don't know your majesty is coming, so if you miss him, it's a death penalty!"

Yelu Hongji showed a rare smile, and said: "What is the crime of the privy envoy? Hurry up and ask... Alas, there are so many courtiers in the court, and you are the only one who can save me. I went to see the Queen Mother today, but the Queen Mother actually It is said that there is news of a big bug in Taizi Mountain, it is someone's plan to plot against him. He also said that that person is the emperor's uncle. I don't believe it anyway, so I want to find someone to go to the emperor's uncle's house to have a look..."

Hearing this, Yelu Yixin's thoughts changed sharply.The emperor's uncle had always been at odds with him, if he really conspired against him and was killed by Yelu Hongji, then his power in the court would be even more unstoppable.

Thinking of this, Yelu Yixin immediately said: "Your Majesty, how could the emperor's uncle rebel against you? I have guarded the border of Daliao for many years. I was born and died for the late emperor, so how can I rebel?"

This is Yelu Yixin's brilliance, he seems to be talking about the achievements of the emperor's uncle, but in fact, why didn't he deliberately expose the strength of the emperor's uncle?There are millions of tribes, that is an exaggeration, but there must be hundreds of thousands.Including Han Chinese slaves, it is estimated that the number is close to one million.One hundred thousand soldiers is also an exaggeration. After the next battle in Youzhou City, Yelu Zhongyuan lost his troops and lost his generals, and his strength was greatly reduced. How could there be one hundred thousand soldiers?

But Yelu Hongji didn't think so, he was the emperor, and when he thought about how powerful his subordinates were, not only people, soldiers, but also money, which emperor would eat well and sleep soundly?Previously, Yelu Hongji believed in the emperor's uncle deeply, so he indulged in the current situation, but after learning that the emperor's uncle had disobedience, Yelu Hongji felt uncomfortable.

After Yelu Hongji was silent for a long time, a servant outside the hall came in and said: "Your Majesty, the imperial tent cavalry Xiao Dingxu has arrived."

At this moment, Yelu Hongji finally made up his mind and said, "Let him in!"

Not long after, Xiao Dingxu, the captain of Wanqi, who was on the imperial tent, walked into Kaihuang Hall, saluted Yelu Hongji, and said, "Xiao Dingxu, on the imperial tent, see Your Majesty!"

Yelu Hongji turned around and saw Xiao Dingxu with his head down.Xiao Dingxu is ten years older than Yelu Hongji, and is now in his 40s.Years of military service made his complexion dark and shiny, and his murderous eyes were only slightly restrained in front of Yelu Hongji. After more than 20 years of military career, Xiao Dingxu's sharp-edged face seems to have been blown by wind and sand.As everyone knows, if Xiao Feng hadn't been born out of nowhere, perhaps the title of No. [-] Khitan Warrior would still be in Xiao Dingxu's hands.

"Xiao Dingxu, I have something I need you to do..." Yelu Hongji said slowly.

"Your Majesty has a purpose, Xiao Dingxu must complete it!"

Hearing Xiao Dingxu's categorical words, Yelu Hongji felt a little relieved: "I want you to go to the Emperor Taishu's mansion to see if the King of Chu is there. If not, you can find his whereabouts for me and come back." Tell me!"

Although Xiao Dingxu didn't understand, he said immediately: "I obey the order!" After finishing speaking, he was about to leave.

At this time, Yelu Yixin spoke again: "Your Majesty, the emperor's grand uncle is the clan that holds the death-free gold certificate, so...isn't that good?"

Yelu Hongji suddenly said angrily: "What's wrong? Daliao is my Daliao, not his imperial uncle's!"

Looking at Yelu Hongji who was like an angry lion, Xiao Dingxu also seemed to know that the purpose this time was not so simple.The emperor had a conflict with the emperor's uncle, but let him be this double-faced person.But Xiao Dingxu wasn't afraid, after all he was the captain of Wanqi, the imperial tent's own cavalry, so Uncle Liangna didn't dare to do anything to him.

Yelu Hongji lost his temper, seeing Xiao Dingxu standing still, he said angrily, "What are you doing here?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Dingxu quickly bowed and walked out of Kaihuang Palace.Yelu Hongji was still angry, and shouted at Yelu Yixin who wanted to say something: "You also go out!"

Knowing Yelu Hongji's temperament, he likes to blame others.Yelu Yixin's fanning the flames has also achieved results, and there is no need to stay here.With a little ingenuity, Yelu Zhongyuan's position in Yelu Hongji's heart fell sharply, such a deal, well done!

Seeing that Yelu Yixin had also gone out, Yelu Hongji was still furious.I trusted the emperor's uncle so much, but I was deceived for so many years. "I ask myself that I treat the emperor's uncle well, why would he do this?" Yelu Hongji was puzzled.

If Yelu Chongyuan were here, he would definitely say: "Under one person, above ten thousand people, it sounds majestic, but in fact he is still a king. How can a king compare with the emperor of a country?"

Indeed, such is the human heart, it is never satisfied.Greed is the original sin, but if there is no greed, people will not be able to progress.Long Wangshu is always the best portrayal of people's hearts.When you are a farmer, you will want an acre of good land; when you have good land, you will want more good land; after you have more good land, you will become a landlord. You will want to have an official position; after you have an official position, you will think about being promoted; when you become a prime minister, you will be under one person or over ten thousand, and you will covet the throne of the emperor.

Yelu Chongyuan is probably the same way. The Khitan people have no concept of fertile land. They fight for the population and are slaves of the Han people.With a population of one million and being the emperor's uncle, what else could Yelu Chongyuan desire?Naturally, it is the emperor's throne under Yelu Hongji, not to mention that Yelu Neilugu wants to rebel more than Yelu Chongyuan, and wants to be emperor even more!
